APPLEGATE RIVER below Applegate Dam: Trout, steelhead
The Applegate River is open for hatchery trout and winter steelhead. All wild (unclipped) fish must be released. River levels have flattened out and cleared up. Try smaller presentations in deep sections of river or areas with surface chop. Recent reports indicate that there are a good number of steelhead in the Applegate right now.
